Nanotech Badge? Graphene from Girl Scout Cookies

This is an interesting technology article about an opportunity a GS troop experienced to go into a real science lab and make Graphene from the Trefoil GS cookies. Graphene is an ultrathin type of Carbon material that can be used in electronic applications. The scientists in the lab are working on developing a method of converting cheaper resources into this type of Carbon.

Where to Place Patches on a Brownie Tunic (Uniform)

This is an updated image of how the insignia and patches should be placed on the Brownie tunic. Participation patches go on the back of the tunic.

Suggestions: Sew on the patches. If you can't or do not have time to sew, research a local seamstress who will sew them on for a reasonable price. Some of the patches are iron-on, but I have heard mixed reviews on the permanency of this method.
